Title: Method for engine control
Inventor: LETANG DENNIS M
IPC: F02D41/14
Filed: 1994-08-18
Abstract: A method for comprehensive integrated control of a compression-ignition internal combustion engine having integral fuel pump-injectors utilizing an electronic control unit (20) is disclosed. The control strategy integrates various functions of engine control including fuel delivery (34), cooling fan control (38), engine speed governing and overspeed protection, engine braking, torque control, and vehicle speed diagnostics and control. Cooling fan control (38) is integrated with vehicle speed diagnostics and control as well as fuel delivery (34) to provide an integrated cruise control function which incorporates engine braking. The method also includes improved control over the various engine speed governors while improving idle quality by balancing the power delivered by each of the engine cylinders when at idle. The integrated torque control employs functions to reduce NOx emissions and noise utilizing adaptive fuel delivery timing and a split injection strategy.

Title: Transdermal drug delivery process
Inventor: IGA KATSUMI
IPC: A61N1/30
Filed: 1996-03-15
Abstract: A calcitonin, its derivative or a salt thereof is transdermally delivered by iontophoresis in which a sub-stantially constant voltage in the range of 3 to 20 V is applied at an electric current of 0.05 to 0.5 mA/cm2.   In this process, the calcitonin can be delivered trans-dermally with a higher absorptivity by applying a higher voltage for a short period (at a voltage of about 6 to 14 V for about 5 to 15 minutes) in the initial stage of the voltage application, and then applying a lower volt-age for a long  period (at a voltage of about 3 to 9 V for about 30 to 40 minutes).

Abstract: A coupled multiple output fiber laser includes  a plurality of laser diodes (10, 50-56) each providing pump light (12, 58-64) which is incident on respective Bragg gratings (16, 74-80) which pass   the pump wavelength and reflect a lasing wavelength.  The fibers   (20, 90-96) are doped with a gain dopant such as Er3+ to provide lasing at the lasing wavelength in response to the pump light.  Light beams (18, 82-88) are incident on an  optical coupler (22) which couples the light beams (18, 82-88) to the light beams (40-48) on the fibers (30-38) based on a predetermined power distribution e.g., equal distribution.  The light (40) travels along the fiber (30) which acts as a common-cavity fiber. The light (40) reflects off a reflector (120) which provides reflected feedback light (122) which reenters the coupler (22)  and is  distributed to the individual cavity fibers  (20, 82-88) based on the same or a different predetermined  power distribution.  Output light (42-48) is provided on the fibers (32-38) which may be incident on a lens (160) to cause the beams to intersect.  The length  of each of the fibers (20, 90-96) is adjusted by piezoelectric tuners (200-208) to provide coupled cavity  phase-locking of the output beams (42-48). Also, each of the output beams (42-48) may be phase shifted by additional tuners (240-246).  An additional output beam may be obtained by a light (232) which passes through  the mirror (120).

Title: Drug-containing adhesive composite transdermal delivery device
Inventor: EBERT CHARLES D
IPC: A61K31/465
Filed: 1995-01-17
Abstract: A method for making a transdermal drug delivery device for heat sensitive and volatile drugs is disclosed. The device contains a drug-containing adhesive composite layer having an impermeable backing material laminated to the distal surface thereof and a proximal peelable impermeable backing material adapted for removal for administering a drag to the skin or mucosa laminated to the proximal surface thereof. The figure provides a partly schematic, sectional view of the transdermal drug delivery device (10) including the substantially drug-impermeable distal backing (14), a drug laden adhesive composite (18) and a substantially drug impermeable proximal release liner (22). The adhesive composite (18) is comprised of a distal adhesive layer (19), a proximal adhesive layer (20) and a gelled drag layer (21) disposed therebetween. The device is produced by extruding the drag in gel form onto at least one exposed surface of a first or second adhesive laminate such that the adhesive layers and gelled drug are combined to form the drug-containing adhesive composite layer having the distal and proximal surfaces covered by the respective backing materials.  This process is particularly adaptable to the formulation of nicotine-containing patches.

Patent CA-2210099-A1 (CA)
Title: Magnetically controlled liquid transfer system
Inventor: KRICHBAUM CHARLES W
IPC: F04F5/52
Filed: 1996-05-31
Abstract: A compressed air-actuated pump includes a venturi nozzle (24) to create a vacuum condition within a fluid-tight pump body or chamber (8) to pump in a liquid or slurry from a remote location. When a given level of liquid is pumped in, a float mechanism (69, 97, 101) actuates a magnetic air valve (60) which actuates a diverter valve (40) whereby the pressurized air from the venturi nozzle is diverted into the pump body to create a pressurized condition therein, whereby the liquid or slurry previously accumulated therein is pumped out. The magnetic actuated valve and diverter valve controlled thereby insures that the desired amount of liquid or slurry is always discharged from the pump chamber during each pressure cycle, and drawn into the chamber during the suction or fill cycle. In a second embodiment, liquid flows into the pump chamber under the influence of gravity and an air-actuated ON/OFF switch (116), which is controlled by the magnetic air valve, regulates the flow of pressurized air into the pump chamber to force the liquid therefrom upon the liquid reaching an upper fill level.
